I take issue with this because most of the time, the news doesn’t offer what this author claims.
“Newspapers — old-fashioned, ink-on-dead-tree newspapers — offer the scrutiny that politicians, bankers and diplomats try to obfuscate. They shine light where those in power seek the same darkness that cloaks Tehran.”
Most journalists are Washington insiders and cannot offer the perspective someone on the outside needs to understand many situations.
